In depth
Verdict
Luna Wish has been going well on Polytrack but has never won on Turf. Basilicata, Precisely and Miss Mulligan are all returning from a break and that may not be an advantage but the latter will enjoy conditions. Hollie Doyle’s presence on board Mystery Show is an obvious plus but the handicapper looks to have taken a real chance by allotting GWENHWYVAR an opening mark of 74. She finished a close-up fourth in what was probably a decent maiden at Newbury last month and is almost certainly capable of better.
